The Cattle Rings.

The western stock producer has am pie grounds for his present loud com plaints. Why bis steers should only net him one-sIxth or One-seyenth per gross pound of the eastern retail rates IS a matter which naturally calls up grave suspicious of the existence of syndi- cate III some quarter.
 Ma3y of the western csttlemen seem to cherish the insane Ides that the retail butchers of this section Of the country are responsible for their misfortune. and that enormous profits ore made at their expense. These same gentlemen pro pose to improve their condition by the establishment of slaughter houses on the ranges, and ship tbeir stock east m a dressed condition. In addition tO this they are sgitatiag the question of opening retail markets m all large cities and following, ID short, the noble example sei by the Rubber company.
 Fortunately the majority of the ranch men iBtellIgently and thoroughly com prehend the situation. They realize that with the subjsctIon of the Chicago and Kansas City mCnopolies alone can come their salvation. and that the retail deal CTS are oppressed as much as themselves by these shrovd cliques. sa any UOdy of men interested m the trade.
 Statistics show that although the pro ducsr at present receives fully 4O per cent less prices than ID previous years, that but slight reduction has been made to the retail purcba-er. The question, then, IS, "Who receives the dliierenceP
 The fact IS evident enough that the cattle monopoly is ths sole source of the evIl, and the sole gainer thereby. lt IS the pivot of q scale which lowers the rates paid the grower. and correspond ingly elevates the prices demanded from the retailer. Producers have no right to complain Of eastern sluughteEess and retail dealers, who pay exOrbitent prices to the rings and are poSarless Co deal direct with the grower. The cattle syDdicates exist for their own benefit alone, and are a curse to the industry which would otherwise yield fair rev enues to all concerned.
 The eastern butchers derive 10 beneht from their existence, but incur great losses.
 The railroads gre their mlinsssy and chef support. Interests aEd threats procure the bee' millIOnaires all the re- ba.es they desire--a privilege sufficient lA AsTSiA Au CElsA bAt eAs NffeNtAt. Congress hss awakened tO .hs evil of allowing railroads to carry freight st rates lover for one shipper than anoth- CT. Let the rebates be abolished, and the rings will be relics of the past. IL iS n this direction that the western growers should move. and rot make fool | ish accusations against butchers, who are recognized by the great eastern pub 1 lie as their only safeguard against the invasion of beef monopolies who yesrn to own the earth. The retailer IS sn ab- so!ute necessity in all branches of com merce, he is the destroyer Ct corners in any product. and the rsnchmen who ! desire to control the retail meat markets of east should take varniu ey the fail ure of the rubber company to suodue public opinion.-Nev York Butchers Advocate,

THg press aud people of the United States have always been friendly to Mexico They have many times condone d her faults and for outrage upon our citi- T=ngs, pleaded justification or mercy in her behalf But all things must have au ending. The seizing at will of our ship, the wGnton killing of our citizens and the total disregsrds to tine rights of Americans within her borders, will even tlally breed trouble and the United States will be obliged to teach Mexico lesson o6 the sad field of war. The New York Sun is striking some sledge hammer blows in behalf Of American citizens and attacking with vigor the Iapiueness of a government that allows its people to be maltreatel by Gn ignor- ant, arrogant, petty Republic.

Subduing the Broncbo.

It was the pleasure of . represepts- i've ot the Prospector. last Wednesday afternoon, to witness the improved method of handling bronchos and re- IrIactory IT horses m general, by Mir. W. H, 1T freeman. at the Stone Barn corral, Del NoIte. MT. Freeman has a stable full or horses that he is breaking, with the greatest success. Upon the occasion referred to black siI-yssr old broncho mare was singled out of the bunch in the corral as the one likely to make the hardest fight" having never been in corral since the day she was branded.
 lime was noted by the watch, the horses were started around the corral, and the black mare was roped by the lore lset and thrown head over heels by Mr. Ernest Shaw. Then a stout back
 oand vas slipped under the horse rom bshind and buckled around her body just back of the fore legs. feathers similar to hobb.e cuffs were buckled to her fore legs just around she pastern. Attached to the blck-band and hobble feathers were rings and puueys, rendering II possible .o pass a rope from ring on the right sIde of ohch-oand to the pulley on the righ: foot, thence through ring on the center of the back band under the horses body and on through a pulley on the lett foot; thence through another pulley on the lett side. GraspIng the rope attached 10 the hscamOre and also the one through the pulleys; MT. Freeman gave orders to remove the larIat from the horse feet. ThIs being dOre, the horse leaped to her feet, but was promptly brought to her knees with little trouble. Alter i've minutes Ot this class of work, buffalo robe was thrown onto the animal, and continued until at the ex- piratlOn of ten minutes, the horse paid no attention to the robe or the caresses Of the bystBnders. In fifteen minutes q set Of harness was upon the mare, she was led through the barn and hooked 10 n wagon with another horse, and ID twenty-two minutes from the time she WIS thrown, the mare was in a team hGuliug a load of passengers down Grand avenue. "It takes the fight out of them, sand Mir. Freeman, and it certain ly does, without injury to the horse or danger to the man. Mir. Freeman's method is novel and effective and should be seen tO be appreciated. By this method the Prospector believes it possi- ble to hook up and successfully drive the most refractory horse in the land in from fifteen to twenty minutes. The operation may be seen at the Stone barn almost any day, and meeksr lot of brOuckOs will rarely be seen than those tha. have passed "through the rnill,"-I Del NOrte Prospector.

A Rounder's Lifs.

was asking ''rounder" the other day how he managed to keep his head above water, and after a moment spent in re- fiectiOn he replied:
 '.To be successful vagrant and dead beat requires twice the planning it does to get rich. I divide my life of into two portions, as it were. The first idea is tc get clothes. These I beg of old time friends. The next Is to get money. must have about g per week to run me, and do more scheming and planning to get that small amount than any working man docs to get Sl0 I can live on twenty cents per day. Ten of this must 20 for the nights lodging. and two nickels will get me two glasses of beer and two free lunches The third idea is to conceal my identity. Not my name, but my charac- ter. 1 am just as anxious tO prevent strangers from looking upon me as a dead beat as man can be. By hook or crook l see the daily papers every day, and I post myself on all the news. l can therefore talk iEtelligcntly. make fifty excuses per day for not being better dressed, and for having no overcoat."
 Il should think you would be eolared by the police"
 ''I take precautions against that Ihaye made 1t q point to give away shady peo- pie when I can do so, and the police would be ingrates to run me in. Ihave to patron tzo the poorest lodging houses and am obliged to hang out at disreputable places, and keep my eyes open I can tell a fly man as soon as the next, and l lose no time in tipping some detective the wink. r
 ''If situation paying, say Sl0 per week wasn-
 ''No, siri I have no one dependent upon me. and all care for Is to get through the day as it comes. In spite of the occasional Suffering and kicks and contempt, get along first rate.

An Adorer of the Form Divine. 2.

Suddenly Henner arose, left his easel, went over to tho model took her tresses in his hands, kissed them religious ly, then went back and sat down tO his work. His worship of beauty Is no idle jest. But Carolus Duran, when he deigns to allow a beautiful young person to sit before him, now and then says to her: Come here, child! Look at this picture the one he has been painting of her).

A pownea.tsr.. Electric LISh..

A Skowhegan electrician has invented . new electric light, which he is confident will revoluuOnize electric lighting all over the world. He has been fostering hz electric scheme and burning midnight oil for over 6 year. The light is now per tected, and patents in America, England, Germany, France and Russia have been applied for. This invention is creating quite a stir where it is understood. The new light was tested in the Skowhegan electric light station one evening not long since, and it is said it's superiority over the ordinary arc system was apparent to many of the citizens of Skowhegan who were eye witnesses tO the experiment. The light is produced by a spiral carbon, entirely different to anything heretofore used by electricians. It is claimed that this new electric light will produce a brighter light than has yet been found. It is what is called the mechanical feed lt is claimed by the inventor that not only is his light brighter than electric light nowadays, but there will be no quivering, hickering or hiSsing to the new light, of which greater things are predicted than have heretofore seemed possible in the realm of electric nght.-LswLston (Me.J Journal

Nearly every incoming train OrinSs representative of intending in- ves'ors Tn search oi opportunities either ID mining or agricultural enterprises, and from this indication alone there are grounds for the hope and expectation ola large influx of capital. Coupled Eith thls direct investigation of our abundant resources is the additional ad- vantage We possess in the rapidly de veioping mining properties that a hope- ful future has brought into public mo- tlee. They demonstrate the permanent character and great value of properties hitherto deemed Of little worth. The miners are moved by the contagious tai:h n coming events and are strain Ing every effort to be prepared when the nne arrives for the turn in their for tunes, and We fully believe their patience and industry will not 20 unrsuardsd.

Deadly Electricity.

Three or four of us were watching an English sparrow picking up his breakfast the other morning. He finally got large piece Of cracker and flew up to the electric wire overhead to eat it. He alghted on a space where the insulating covering had met with an accident and been stripped oiI. and his feet had no sooner touched the wire than down he came, dead ss a stone. When We picked up the body 1t had a pUlpy feeling, as fl every bone hsd been broken. It wGs a striking proof, even on a small scale, of the vindictive current which buzzes and flashes and leaps over and around us, ready at the slightest pr0yocatiOn to strike a victim with the chill of death.-Detroit Free Press.

Character in the Hair.

If the color is not to be taken as an in- dex, the habitual appearance is as a safe guide to at least few points of character. Our faces carry with them the story of our lives, though it be written in hierO- glyphics unread; to some extent We our selves have made them what they are; not the features, but the expression, is our making formed unconsciOusly all our life. In just the same way, it Is not the hair itself, but, so to say, the expression we have given it that tells the tale White, black, gray or brown, ruddy, yellow, ashen or fiaxen-what matter its-our hearts and our ways are not colored to match. Curly or straight--how could We help it' But OUT care and our earefulness, our work and our troubles have given it an appearance of it's own, which Is a part of our Individuality; and therein are the se- cIeJs of character.-Cassel's Magazine.
